“There is an island burial ground in a river near Ennistymon which is used only by one family - the Slatterys”
There is an island burial ground in a river near Ennistymon which is used only by one family - the Slatterys. In it there are no headstones and it is a noted fact that whenever one of the family is dead it is easily accessible. At many times during the year it is flooded over. Nevertheless the graves are quite dry and the nature of the soil is pencil slate. There are about eight or ten graves in it all belonging to the Slattery family of Newtown, Ennistymon.
